Does anyone think Casey McGehee can sustain his current play? I drafted him late in my fantasy draft and right now he's my starting 3B. What should I expect from in the future?

Last year everyone said that his success was just luck and he'd fall sooner rather than later. Well that never happened so they started saying he'd go back to a below average player this year. Again hasn't happened and he's actually been even better.

He's looking good at the plate doing it too. He's getting good at bats and looks very comfortable. He hasn't even been streaky either. McGehee has gotten a hit in all but 6 games this season. Currently he's been the best offensive third baseman in the league. He might not stay quite that high, but he should be top 7 or so in MLB.

I like Billy Butler, but I think he's so ridiculously overrated by some people that it kind of puts me off him. He is absolutely not a franchise piece, he should be a solid secondary piece when Mous and so forth develop.

RIP TheManInBlack

Butler would be a #5 hitter on a contender. He is a good hitter for average and power. Nothing wrong with the guy really. He isn't a centerpiece, but he's a good protector, and he produces with RISP. I'd be happy with him as my DH. Not ecstatic, but happy.

His ceiling(IMO) is probably .310/.380/.490 with 35ish homers. Not bad, but he's not going to be carrying any teams.

Background on my team: I'm middle of the road in all stats except tops in ERA, last in Ks. I have Votto at first, with Glaus backing him up. My starting OF is Soriano, Milledge, and Francoeur...yea. My starting pitching is Halladay...my 2nd best pitcher (Happ) is on the DL, so by default Jamie Moyer is 2nd. Also, it's an NL only keeper league and Holds is a stat.

Obviously he wants Halladay and is willing to give up Howard (he has Pujols and Ike Davis). I really want to unload Soriano while his stock is high. But why would I give up the only pitcher I have that gets Ws, Ks, and keeps my ERA low, while taking on a 3rd 1B, an OF no better than what I have, and crappy starters that will also drag my ERA up and not give me Ks.

Sorry it's long, and no one cares. But if anyone is bored like me and feels like sharing any insight...
